Families that talk, and listen
Family and parenting support by video for California families with children, teens and adults.
Who this is for
Family therapy brings the people in a household into the same conversation. We work with families with children, teens and adult family members across California.
Sometimes the goal is fewer blowups at dinner. Sometimes it is understanding why the same pattern keeps showing up, year after year, and what each person can do differently.

What we work on
- Family conflict
- Parenting
- Adoption
- Children's emotional needs
- Long standing patterns
- Communication at home
How we work with this
Emily helps clients explore family dynamics and the long standing patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Aidé has worked with children in foster care, military families and the Latinx community. Misty works with children, adolescents and families.
Attachment based therapy
Emily and Misty both draw on attachment based approaches.
Person centered therapy
Aidé brings a person centered, culturally aware approach.
Psychodynamic therapy
Misty integrates psychodynamic work when it helps.

What sessions look like
Every session is by secure video on a HIPAA compliant platform, with nothing to download. You join from home, from work or from your parked car, anywhere in California.
You and your therapist decide together whether to meet weekly or every other week.
